Our daughter has been doing karate since she was about 6 years old - she is now turning 9 - and is going to be grading to her blue belt soon. She is part of Tenshinkan South Gauteng and has grown in leaps and bounds. Last year she took part. . . . .

Our daughter has been doing karate since she was about 6 years old - she is now turning 9 - and is going to be grading to her blue belt soon. She is part of Tenshinkan South Gauteng and has grown in leaps and bounds. Last year she took part in the Kancho Cup which was held in South Africa. She came first and second in her age and belt category. We are not sure where the Internationals will be this year but some of the possibilities include Japan, Denmark and Australia.

To be more proactive, we have decided to start fundraising now to enable her to take part in whichever International Championships she can. Funds would then go towards flights, accommodation, travel expenses and whichever expenses arise from taking part in the championship. (8 regional and 1 national championship a year set us back about R2500 - R3500 a year).

She truly excels and enjoys moving up in the Martial Arts world and any assistance in providing her the opportunity to extend that across our borders would be greatly appreciated.

I'm still sharing and networking as much as possible... if we don't manage to get her to an International even this year then we roll it over to next year. :) Not such a bad thing because it just means that her skills and technique can only improve even more!

So it's slow going at the moment.. things have been a bit busy at work. I've also started joining the Ninja Smooch at karate on Wednesday nights and it's given me a new appreciation for the training they do. I'm stiff and sore and definitely very unfit! hahaha

So I'll be having a chat with Daniella's Shihan-Dai at karate tonight about the different internationals she'd be eligible for so that we can decide on one and then from there we'd have a better idea of the kind of expenses.

She took part in the East Gauteng Championship on Saturday where she had 4 opponents for a change and took Gold for her kata. I've uploaded the video to YouTube.

So I've been having a look at international events remaining for the year and the World Karate Federation 2017 Championship will be taking place in Spain from 25 - 29 October. I'll be talking to Daniella's Shihan-Dai today to find out if Daniella would be eligible for it. The boost that karate has given her confidence nevermind her discipline and focus is unbelievable so if sending her to one of the bigger events is possible then we will do it! :)
